if_o a_o time_n of_o trial_n come_v unless_o christ_n be_v his_o bottom_n and_o foundation_n unless_o christ_n be_v his_o strength_n if_o a_o man_n stand_v upon_o his_o own_o leg_n his_o own_o part_n

so_o the_o people_n of_o god_n love_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o the_o faithful_a minister_n of_o christ_n psal_n 26.8_o lord_n i_o have_v love_v the_o habitation_n of_o thy_o house_n and_o

death_n and_o damnation_n and_o this_o i_o will_v prove_v by_o a_o double_a argument_n 1._o if_o the_o very_a lest_o sin_n be_v as_o indeed_o it_o be_v a_o breach_n and_o violation_n of_o god_n law_n then_o it_o be_v no_o more_o venial_a than_o a_o great_a but_o the_o least_o sin_n be_v a_o violation_n of_o god_n law_n therefore_o the_o least_o sin_n be_v no_o more_o venial_a than_o a_o great_a
